Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. Witnessing Through Suffering, I Peter 1:3-9, 5:6-11, for Sunday, July 29. , The problem of suffering is ever before us. The common question is: Why do good men suffer? Suffering is a common experience, no one excepted. Suffering offers an opportunity to witness for Christ, to show faith in God. God may give us the reason in the world to come; it is our part to trust Him till we shall know' the reason. God's purpose runs through all experiences and we may rest assured that His purpose runs through our suffering. V. 3.. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Ix»rd Jesus Christ, which his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.” Peter made a wide sweep of Christianity. These persecuted Christians ought to l>e happy and therefore blessed; they were in the family of God their Father; God's mercy is abundant: no matter how they may suffer, there is hope; the resurrected Christ conquered all things, even death. When Ung him, there is nothing to worry about. V. 4. “To an inheritance incorruptible and undented, and tbat fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.” Spiritual security is of more importance than social security or economic welfare in this life. All will be spiritually I r|ch in heaven. .TO_’-. V. 5. “Who are kept by the power of Gdd through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” Here ,is taught the ( keeping power of God which main- 1 tains .salvation here: bu| how’ great that salvation is, will be: better known when viewed from heaven. One cause of praise in those in heaven will be how wonJ, derfully the Lord has brought ba through. This “is the thought in the following verse, and added (o it, that our suffering and temptations are not for long, compared with eternity. ~ V.7. "That the trial of your faith being much more precious than gold that perisheth though it be tried by fire, might be found to praise and honor and glory at the , appearing of Jesus Christ." Faith . must be strong enough to hold us steadfast when encountering all kinds of temptations and when called on to endure suffering. Strength is added every time one overcomes temptation and endures hardship and suffering. It is one thing to be tested, but a greater thing to be proved true to the Lord. God will not allow us to be tempted above that which we, with 1 his power, are able to bear, V.B. ’Whom not having seen, you love; in hom, though ye see him not yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” Peter saw Jesus and believed. It is to the credit o' those who never saw Jesus to first believe, and, > believing, they Befe; it takes more faith to believe first. ’ V. 9. “Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your > souls.” Note how many times the word “salvation" is used. Let no one ever make light of this great work of divine grace. V. 6. "Humble yourselves there- j fore under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you in due time.” Humility is the preserver ob faith. It is written "Pride goeth before a fall " At best, man is frail» physically, and sooner or later sue- 1 cumbs: he is equally frail spirit-1

ually,- though he may be unconscious of it. The soul to be saved and kept voices the hymn. “I need Thee every hour." V.7. "Casting all your care on him. for he careth for you." Confidence in the love and power of God needs to be exercised to the point that all worry is gone. To worry, shows there is a lack of faith, - V.S. "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion goeth about seeking whom he may devour ” The forces of evil are tremendous, crouched secretly, ready to pounce on a believer at any time and. under any circumstance. Here is a warning to be alert and sensitive. Temptation arises first in thought —a mere suggestion; it needs slaying then and there. The following two verses commend resistance to all sin and a confident and eternal surrender to the God of-grace. —The Rev. D. Carl Yoder. — Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education. National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A., and used by permission.

Churches are a great financial asset to a community. It is reported that, in a newly incorporated town, a character was signed by the first residents that no church would be allowed, not even a church building. The better class of people did not move into the town. Hn the other hand, hoodlums moved" in and they had such an evil effect that the better citiseus moved out, and in time, there were only empty houses which de-

Finally Lamb calmly said, “There are only three things that hiss —a goose, a snake and a fool. Come forth and be identified.!” True Liberty A little girl went with her father, according to an account in the Watchman, to visit the Statue of Liberty tn New York'Harbor. After learning to her surprise that they could climb a stairway within the monument to the top, she asked, "But, father, is Liberty hollow? The child's question is significant in a deeper sense than she meant. Much that passes for liberty in the minds of many persons is very hollow. There are two ideas of liberty: the false, that it means freedom to do whatever one likes; the true, which means that a man is free to do what he ought. No man has a do as he pleases until he pleJases to do that which is right. “Young people have far more liberty today than they used to have," said Dr. John W. MacIvor. "but there is no need to go to the devil just because you have a latchkey.” Such liberty is, indeed, hollow. Do You Know: 1. How did Ananias try to get credit he didn’t deserve? 2. How did Stephen die? " 3. Why did Paul and tots -friends decide to carry the good news about Jesus to Europe? 4. When arrested in Jerusalem, how did Paul escape whipping? 5. How did Paul finally get to Rome? Do You Know Answered 1. By claiming he had turned in all his property to the common fund (Acts 5) 2. He was stoned. (Acts 7) - 3. In a dream, Paul saw a man of Macedonia who said, "Come over into Macedonia and help us." (Acts 16:9) 4. By telling the officer that* he was a Roman citizen (Acts 22:25) 5.
